Sometimes I have some graphic glitches when I unlock the screen and a lock then unlock fixes it. Not really a major problem but still annoying.

Sent from Steve Job's Android dungeon with my VanillaEclair Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
It's because of the low frequency. It's not a ROM issue, it's mostly caused by the CPU not supporting such low frequency with that voltage.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] asad510:
my network connection is messed up i have no conecttion all the time
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
I'm not an expert, but I think its something to do with build.prop. Froyo experienced same problems at start and devs found a solution for it.

P.S. I tried to search, but could not find that post anymore. From what I remember you need to change these values in build.prop to (atleast for Froyo)

ro.product.name=passion
ro.product.device=passion

not sure so if it will work :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
guys there has always been CorCal.apk floating around.

it's the official android corporate calendar (in other words exchange calendar) for vanilla android 2.1 phones.

it's on xda somewhere, I download it once in a while from there.

am attaching it here too.

you have to push it to /system/app/

you then have to add read/execute permissions to all users.

if you use root explorer ($$) that is the easiest way, or use the terminal app to do it:

su

cd /sdcard

cp CorCal.apk /system/app

chmod 777 /system/app/CorCal.apk

(777 isn't necessary, could be lesser privs, but it's fine to do a 777 on this file and makes it work).

you might have to reboot, I don't recall.

anyway once it's done (possibly after reboot) you'll see Corporate Calendar in your applications and you'll have a new widget for corporate calendar near events. it auto syncs with exchange if you've setup your exchange account.

Have you got an EXT partition on your SDCard? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rukhi:
Yes sir :) but it didnt ever seem to work :(

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
It only works with EXT2/3.

Sorry to ask this here but about to install the final release but would like to include an app with the install using the .apk file. If I copy and paste the .apk into the app folder in the rom whilst it's zipped before flashing it will it just install? Sorry if this sounds dumb
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] asad510:
no

just adb push it !!

exchange calendar works great with this APK. just push it to /system/app with adb and play !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dthomasen:
Thx a lot!

Didn't really like your former releases, but I must say! This one.. WOW! What a performance, and everythings works right out of the box :D

Great, great job!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] androidnisse:
The best rom for the hero ever! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
woohoo! downloaded, installed, working great

thanks mate
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Screatch:
The only con is the gallery.. do you plan on implementing gallery 3d? because right now.. it doesn't work very well..

===

I take my words back. Works flawlessly. Would be better if it would be in a rom out of the box.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] asad510:
ok can someone get me the wallpapers from ve 4.0
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Summered:
I can do that if anyone can tell me in what .apk or w/e they are :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] FloggingHank:
Hi,

Maybe a dumb question but what exactly is the difference between 5.0 and 4.0?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
yes please, same question here. besides "5.0.8" versus "5.0.7" which also means nothing to most of us.

all I know so far is 5.0.7 ve4 has always been super stable and 5.0.8 roms of all builders always seem to suffer from some type of stability issue, every rom different, but it's always there somewhere LoL.

tethering works and maybe 3d gallery is fixed in 5.0.8 roms but aside from that why is it better please?

link to where we can read about it maybe? I'm still sticking with 4.0 for now, just too good to switch from considering everything I've read here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lakikaki:
5.0 is slightly snappier, the trackball works, disappearing notification bar bug I was sometimes experiencing is gone, waking up seems more reliable than before (my Hero have always had problems with it) and maybe some other things I haven't noticed yet. (I'm not sure if FLAC was supported before but now it is)

I upgraded and lost nothing (except for a bit of precious time :)) and I recommend you doing so too. Take 5.0 as a "service pack" to an already awesome and reliable ROM ;)

FYI 3D Gallery is NOT included in the ROM, but you can download it from the attachment below. It does work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hansvonhoden:
This sucks... :(

I.e. i cant find dropbox in the Market... is there a fix for this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lakikaki:
I couldn't find Dropbox in the Market either, but I just tried to install it via AppBrain and it worked. I used AppBrain's web interface and Fast Web Installer installed on the phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheReverend210:
Quick question:

I tried out live wallpapers briefly, and I went to put back a static wallpaper, but I cant find the one that is default when you first flash the rom anywhere.

I really liked that one, any chance someone could post it, or tell me where in the rom it is?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
The original wallpaper is

/system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable/default_wallpaper.jpg
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheReverend210:
Ah excellent, thank you. My phone had a bit of a wobble then when I copied the wallpaper to the root of the SD cardwith astro, but all is well now, thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sam.wangcong:
After about 9 hours of phone use without FCs, and fairly reasonbale battery drains, my phone freezed at the HTC logo after a reboot attempt.

I am a little tempted to switch back to VE 4.0 before 5.0 is perfected.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cauli:
I've not tried 5.0 yet so I don't know if this has already been done, but if not, adding it yourself should be fine. You might want to make sure the folder has the same permissions as the existing sd-ext mount point too. Hopefully someone else will comment on this. RaduG?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
Ho!

downloaded default NAS pack

did a nand and a bart just in case.

did my titanium

backed up my sd card

gonna do a full wipe plus reformat my sd + ext2 partition

basically gonna set it up ad a new phone :)

goodluck to me :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
i came from adw launcher.

on 1st boot.. i tried configuring launcherpro..

after finish configuring.. i restarted launcherpro..

on restarting.. it gives me a nonstop fc :S

rebooting doesnt work

currently trying wipping

rude welcome from launcherpro bah!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
thank you! that was super helpful! :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
that's not launcherpro doing that. it's gotta be something with the rom or the memory settings for launcherpro (it's VERY configurable and if you change the wrong thing or don't change the right thing then you can have that result).

have to read some of the stuff at launcherpro.com I would say.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
I flashed it, and it's good so far. No FCs for me.

BUT. A couple of bugs on my side.

1) Automatic brightness isn't "active". Is it supposed to be like that? I only notice the screen dimming when it wakes up from standby.

2) Trackball and LED isn't lighting up when I receive a SMS on Handcent SMS app. I disabled notifications in the default messaging app, and double-checked the settings on Handcent. All seems to be in order.

Besides that, great great great ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
frankly speaking.

i'd point the fault to LP since i am an adw fanboy haha.

(will try re-config again once my 2nd launcher is installed, might switch to LP just for the outline highlight feat. :D)

nevertheless, i did a wipes and all's good now.

both are good launchers no doubt bout that!

in the process of restoring my titanium.

hope everything works fine lol..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dazbutler1:
Excellent rom once again radug. Was getting random reboots constantly earlier so, reflashed without extreme kernel and everything now perfect. is there anyway to disable JIT in the extreme kernel? Sure this must have been the problem cos my Hero runs perfect at 768/176,

thanks again radug.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
LauncherPro Plus does not have Sense widgets. It has Sense-like widgets. The people widget for example has been developed by the same guy that does LauncherPro. Wanted to make that clear before people get the wrong idea :)

Regarding market issue it doesn't seem to be an issue with the build.prop-file.

I pulled the build.prop from Elemags CyanogenMOD 5.0.8 ROM (possible to download protected apps with it, at least the last time I used it)..

RaduG VanillaEclair 5.0 build.prop (NOTE: from Build8 since I haven't gotten around to install the new one yet...)

ro.build.description=hero-user 2.1-update1 ERE27 24178 release-keys

Elemags build.prop

ro.build.description=passion-user 2.1-update1 ERE27 24178 release-keys

Changed that line so that it matches Elemags build.prop. Rebooted phone,

Notice the passion in one and Hero in the other. Didn't help.

Changed this line as well to be like this:

ro.build.version.release=2.1-update1

None of it helps and other than this there isn't really much difference between the two files. Nothing that I can imagine is the cause of the problem at least.

Also tried changing

ro.product.locale.region=US

to

ro.product.locale.region=GB

but didn't do any difference either.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hund:
Ah, my mistake. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
The sd folder is present in this ROM, so if what kosmiq says is true, NAND+EXT should work now :) .

Follow the instructions in post #2 to disable JIT.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
RaduG, any idea what is causing the app-problem? I can see Swedbank app (protected) but I can not find Goggles through market for some reason.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
I have no idea yet, but I'm working on it.

That must be caused by the camera libs changes that I've made in order to get rid of the timestamp.... I'll see what I can do.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
Ah that would explain it. The build.prop is fine since I am indeed able to find some apps that are protected and mostly are the ones to disappear when the problem is there.

But as you say krispijn_s if the camera-part is wrong it would explain why Goggles can't be found if Market somehow notices that the camera is indeed "failing".

Edit:

On the other hand I am able to find Barcode Scanner (ok, market found an update for it) and I was able to install the update as well.

Edit2:

And barcode scanner works (as in: I launched it, noticed I could see stuff through it and closed it).

Edit (again):

RaduG any chance that us having Heroes that can handle 691Mhz but not 176Mhz could get a kernel by request? I'd really love a 246/691Mhz kernel since my phone is slow as h*ll waking up from 176Mhz when someone is calling me. Add the fact that overclockwidget, SetCPU and the like are so slow to change speeds (thus ruling out free-kernel for me since it doesn't really make anything better). With a kernel like the 176/691 one but clocked to 246/691 I'd would be even more in love... :p

More edits:

The lack of multitouch in the browser is boring :(

Also:

I can confirm that the built-in usb-tether seem to work in build8 at least.. :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Pretty bad battery life, I must say.

I'm running the 5.0 with the default kernel.

Current battery status 61%

About Device:

• 10h 46min 56s since unplugged

•

Cell standby 48%
Phone idle 48%
Wi-Fi 5%

Spare Parts:

• Battery history \ Other usage

Running (4.5%)
Screen on (0.5%)
Phone on (0.0%)
Wifi On (100.0%)
Wifi Running (8.7%)

So, basically everything seems like normal, nothing using the battery, but still I lost 39% in a little less than 11 hours.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Well... here's what SpareParts tells me:

- total since boot 20:11:22 (it was unplugged then)

- battery level 95

- running 1.8%

- screen on 1%

- wifi on 0.5%

- wifi running 0.4%
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
You people are not even using your phones.. Mine has been booted 2h 40mins and I have

Battery at 93%

23.7% running

9.9.% Screen on

100% wifi on

100% wifi running

At work so never letting wifi deactivate itself.

Just wanted to say: Thankyou!

Best ROM ever.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shonen45:
Same here. After a complete wipe and flash to VE5 NAS, the phone is rebooted twice to get things stable down. But it froze at the HTC logo.

I am back to VE4 for now.

Could not get any logcat to help in troubleshooting, I think, as it is a reboot issue.

Anyway, still great efforts from RaduG. Will revisit VE5 when it is more stable, or the much anticipated Froyo-based ROM. Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiley87:

Just a quick question before i install this, has the hold button been moved while in a call? With V4 i found it far too easy to hold a call with my ear/face.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lakikaki:
You need to press MENU to access buttons while calling someone. During a phone call there's nothing on the screen except the notification bar, a picture of the person who you are talking to (if available) and a small "pull-up" button to access dialpad. After pressing MENU you are able to hold the call, activate the speaker, end the call using the screen etc.

Just flash the thing already! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] s2ce0:
thx RaduG make this ROM,

the ExtremeKernel can work in everyone ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nysos:
Did you just apply 5.0 to 4.0 without wiping (like a service pack :p)? Or won't that work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheReverend210:
I have to say, I was waiting with bated breath for the arrival of VanillaEclair 5.

I flashed it and found awaiting me a really, smooth, fast ROM.

However, since downloading it around 5pm yesterday, I have had to reflash it 3 times!

After the first flash (following a full wipe), it got stuck in a boot-loop, so I flashed it again and it worked fine, woo!

I get it all set up, everything is working fine, but I tend to turn my phone off at night. So I went to bed, forgot I hadn't put something important in my calendar, went to start it up again, and got stuck in a boot loop.

So I flashed the ROM again, set it all up again, decided I'd install a custom boot animation. The initial reboot worked fine, boot animation looks snazzy, I'm happy.

I went to show my friend my new boot animation, rebooted my phone............boot-loop!

I am now in the process of flashing it again. The first flash was stuck in a boot loop, so I've just done a full wipe (3 times on every wipe option, just to be sure) and am presently flashing again.

I did a full wipe between every flash. I love the VanillaEclair ROMs, but the constand boot-looping and reflashing is beginning to gripe me now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
only complaint for me of this rom is the dialer..

i msses the VE4 one... :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
I think you are the only one.. :p I Guess you can take phone.apk from VE4 and push it onto this ROM without problems.

Regarding Boot-loops I have noticed that it seem to occur almost everytime I've been into recovery and done something. Rebooting from OS seem to work without the bootloop.

Don't really think you need to reflash it either, more like pull the battery and boot again if you don't have PC nearby to do an adb reboot with.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
:( me the only one...

lonely.... but but but!! i have my hero running VE5 with me :D muahhaha

anyway.. is it normal for data connections to take a while to get connected or should it be instant?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cbeyls:
100% CPU on touch

I still have the same issue with the final version of VE 5: the CPU is used 100% when simply touching the screen (with default kernel). This does not happen in ChocolateEclair with the default kernel, which is clocked to the same frequencies.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
eh, how do u knw the cpu shoots to 100% when u touch the screen?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
The touchscreen CPU load is caused by the touchscreen driver for AOSP roms. I can't do anything about that unfortunately.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] beliskner:
Done, and i must say it's looking very shiny, thank you!

Possible bug report, is the headphone jack broken?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
Hmmm that is kind of sad, that it is so bad. Oh well I am very happy with the ROM (still running build8 :p) and whenever market problems are solved I won't look back! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] winston6969:
Any ideas anyone. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jarski12345:
It's not a flashable zip. Unzip and install it with a file explorer like astro.

It's the actual Rom file I'm trying to flash in recovery when I get this error
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kickr:
When we can expect the fix for "not all apps in market"?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maharifu:
That is weird, as the rom should not have set_cpu in it. You can start by re-downloading and checking that you have the right file, and that the md5sum matches....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] winston6969:
Yeah I know It's weird as you mention as setcpu isn't in the Rom. Will redownload it when u get home but I've already installed it once using that file then realised apps2sd wasn't working so did I wipe using Rom manager and ended up wiping something I shouldn't have. Long story but ended up loosing root and only way u could get it back was flashing villianrom 12 as that includes the recovery image. But after all that I can now no longer flash thus rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pharrisee:
Is overclocking working with the freekernel?

I'm using overclock widget and even though it says the new clock has been set (710) it's staying on 576.

Any ideas?

also it doesn't seem to ask for su rights, weird
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] winston6969:
Turns out I'm a complete moron who in a rush accidently copied the setcpu.apk into the zip folder instead of just onto my sdcard, hence the error :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RiV_2005:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] winston6969:
Just to note I set the phone up quickly and enabled apps2sd and chose to reboot on the OS and it hung on boot, as mentioned I did an adb reboot and it started up just fine
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lakikaki:
Maybe it will, but it's recommended to wipe, see first post ;) I have once again failed to give a good metaphor…

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raz-or:
Mine too, currently using the free kernel and overclock with 691 and 265,

With Build 10 battery was very good.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
well since it was solved by a wipe then you already know it isn't launchepro's fault. not to mention I've installed lp dozens of times and never had that happen. same with adw for that matter.

:-)

however, you'll find if you run lots of widgets on many home screens (I run 5 screens typically with a dozen widgets maybe?), LP scrolls far more smoothly than adw. at least it always does for me. and the bottom bar is amazing in LP.

ADW is open source though I think, so technically we could go in and do what we want to it LoL. both very good products.

LP these days on my phone is just much faster than anything else, especially the most recent version.

at least you can decide yourself now without any bizarre LP issues! :-)
